PGA Tour: Real Contenders Absent from Pebble Beach This Week

While most of the PGA Tour will be spending this week out on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula at the site of the 2010 US Open, many of the real contenders are sitting 7,000 miles away. It has long been said that Tiger Woods owns Pebble Beach. This view is based primary on his record setting victory at the 2000 US Open. However, Woods has only won twice at Pebble Beach—the 2000 Pebble Beach Pro-Am... 

New Nike VR Hybrids, Fairway Woods, And Drivers (Spy Pics)

Becuase of the success of the Victory Red irons and wedges, Nike has decided to extend the line into hybrids, woods, and drivers. Nike worked closely with it’s sponsored professionals to develop the new VR line up, which is considered to be much more traditional looking than what Nike currently offers in their Summo models. Nike Victory Red Hybrids The new Victory Red hybrids were created... 

Diego Maradona the Puzzle as Argentina’s Pieces Start To Come Together

It’s an adage that is regularly—and often, it must be said, lazily—trotted out every four years. In a World Cup year, players will always perform better. The reality, it must be hoped, is that players are paid enough to perform to the best of their abilities at all times, not just when an invite to one of the biggest tournaments in world sport is tantalisingly up for grabs. And 99 per cent of... 

Button vs Kovalainen: Damage Limitation?

Jenson Button and Heikki Kovalainen have had alternative and differing careers up until now. Each has had moments of triumph yet accompanied these with a vaster tally of moments of dismay. Now they both have moved to new teams to parnter drivers who are proven in quality for the 2010 season. Therefore both Jenson and Heikki will now seek to emulate both their team mates and their former selves in their... 

USA Sevens Team Wins Shield In New Zealand

A battered and bruised USA Sevens team pulled it together down the stretch to claim the Shield at the Wellington, New Zealand Sevens tournament. After finishing 1-2 in pool play, the USA dropped their Bowl Quarterfinal to France 21-10 and fell to the Shield competition. There, the USA upended Scotland 19-12 behind two tries from Nese Malifa to reach the Shield Final against Tonga. The game was a repeat... 

The 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Six Pack

Kinda funny that Dustin learned that he won the tournament from a bystander while eating a sandwich in the clubhouse last year. I wonder if it was a club sandwich….. Per usual, last week’s Northern Trust Open was an excellent event to watch. Steve Stricker, one of the most respected talents on tour took home the trophy after almost letting this one get away from him. Stricker, known as a... 

Mizuno MP-630 and MP-630 Fast Track Drivers (Spy Pic)

Mizuno just recently released the MP-630 and MP-630 Fast Track Drivers, both of which are considered “Tour Ready.” The MP-630 Fast Track will have 45 adjustable trajectory settings through 16 grams of movable weight. And the standard MP-630 will be the same driver, just with neutral settings and no adjustability. In our opinion Mizuno did a great job with this tour performance driver.... 

The All-Motorsport Power Rankings: No. 49

NASCAR’s back! WIth it’s over complicated qualifying system (one that makes no sense when you think about it and even less when you try and write it down) it’s the Daytona 500, now with added bump-drafting and speed. But this week was the prequal, the Budweiser Shootout. OK, so the rules to get Dale Jr in were more fudged than a fat kid in a candy store but he was so unimportant it... 

The Two Sides of the Serena Williams Coin: The Arrogant Ace?

Complete female athlete or embarrassment to her code? Bad winner and even worse loser? It seems that Serena Williams‘ measured value to women’s tennis is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Ever since the Williams Sisters set foot on the tennis court, they have caused debate. They dressed differently, played differently, and they did it their way.  While the Sisters... 

Super 14 Preview 2010: The South African Challenge

2009 was a stellar year for South African rugby. The end-of-year tour to Europe burst the bubble, but with a four-to-five week break for the top players I expect South African rugby to once again be strong. Unlike previous years, I sense a slight changing of the guard. The Bulls will be strong and should lead the South African challenge. They’ve got big-match experience, rarely lose at Loftus,...
